Water Leak Shuts Down Sunset In Beverly Hills, Prompts Water Conservation Warning-

Non-Destructive Testing

BEVERLY HILLS (CBSLA)—
A stretch of Sunset Boulevard was closed Monday after a pipe leak turned into a full-blown water main break over the weekend.The water line leak was first discovered

at Sunset Boulevard and Alpine Drive Friday night. The leak grew into a water main break Sunday night, prompting crews to shut down the intersection and most of Sunset to Rexford Drive.Water service

was not interrupted, but the city of Beverly Hills is asking residents, businesses and visitors to conserve water and not water their landscapes for the next seven days.“Outdoor irrigation, please eliminate

that, and also indoor as well. Limit shower time, laundry loads, that type of thing, because we’re going to be on the reservoir water for several days,” Beverly Hills spokesman Keith Sterling said.

The leak appears to be coming from a 32-inch cast iron pipe installed in the 1940s.

Underground Water Pipeline X-Rays Specialist

Underground services surveys are an important aspect of any site construction work. Most underground services can be detected using electromagnetic detection equipment which can normally determine depth and

The latest electromagnetic service or ground radar locators are used to determine the position of most underground cables and pipes. All routes are site marked with biologically degradable paint. Drains can be

located using electronic sondes emitting a signal from the pipe, which is then located on the surface. All this information can then be surveyed to provide a comprehensive record of on site services and depths.

Our surveyors are fully conversant with health and safety procedures regarding entry into confined spaces. These procedures will always be used when required.Surveys will be undertaken to TSA Utility Guidance

Our technicians will identify and isolate current and potential leaks on your
network. Our Network Inspectors use a range of special equipment for accurate
leak detection surveys and effective leak correlation. All our services can be
customized and adapted to suit your needs.

LEAKAGE SURVEYIf you want to take a pro-active approach towards detecting leaks, we can
undertake a leakage survey in a particular District Metered Area , town or
reservoir supply zone. Our Network Inspectors will record water leak sounds that
are propagated along the pipe walls, using leak correlation technology and
ground microphones to find the exact location of the leak. Urgent leaks that may
impact on your customers are reported immediately for emergency repair.

FLOW LOGGINGIf you manage a large water network – serving schools, universities and hospitals,
for example – flow logging gives you a quick and inexpensive picture of how
water is being used. Regular logging provides the best way to accurately
determine the level of leakage and the value of water being lost.

STEP TESTINGIf a system survey has detected a leak, we can use step testing to find it.
Particularly effective on extensive water systems, we can test out of hours or
on a zone-by-zone basis, so your customers have minimal disruption to their
water supply.

DROP TESTING

Using drop testing, we can check for vital water tightness of storage reservoirs
or tanks.

PRV MAINTENANCEPressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) allows you to actively manage your water supply
demand, saving money for your business and helping with water conservation. Our
expert team can advise you on optimizing pressure management, implementing
pressure zones where necessary, plus commissioning and logging PRVs.

To prolong the life of PRVs, we also provide maintenance, verification and
calibration of water flow meters – a valve free from dirt will function for
years with minimum attention, saving you time, inconvenience and cash.

NIGHT FLOW ANALYSISTake action before you lose water and revenue. Establishing the minimum night
flow rate is a key tool in identifying leakage potential and developing diurnal
water use patterns. Using our expertise, you can develop a comprehensive history
of night flow rates, identifying leaks before they become a problem.

WATER METERSWith specialists in domestic and commercial water meters, we can offer services
from installation to meter reading to data logging, helping you understand,
manage and control the water being used on your site.
